"Yes, it's the very last house, right before the end of the pack line," I stated as we pulled into my best friend's mother's driveway. Even though she is married to Max Fernandez, and has her own house, she couldn't bare to be away from her mother all the time. As I stepped out of the limo and made my way to the front door, I could barely lift my hand to ring the doorbell before the door was thrust open. "Phemie!" Camilla called out as she jumped into my arms. "Mami, it's Euphemia," She called out as she held my arms tight and threw her head backward to scream into the house. "Euphemia? My Euphemia?" Mrs. Luciana yelled out as she walked through the house. "Oh, Euphemia," She hugged me tight before being pushed aside by David and Sebastian. "Sweet Phemie, I knew you'd be back," David smiled as he grabbed up my hand and kissed it. "You are touching my mate!" Killian's voice boomed as it echoed as he loomed over me like a great shadow. I looked up as his eyes began to glow yellow and

"Killian where were you?!" Demanded Constance as she put her hand on the banister while walking down the staircase. "My sources told me that you went to a werewolf pack, what in the Goddess's name do you think you're doing there?!" "Mother, I do not have to answer to you, in case you have forgotten," Killian said as he walked into the mansion with his three men in tow. "Why is he in my house?!" The King's mother yelled as she reached the bottom step. "I remember stating I did not want sight of that bastard," "Mother!" The King screamed as he walked toward his mother. "In case you have forgotten he is my half-brother, and my Beta but you seem to have forgotten your place. Maybe it's time you take a leave to the summer house in Waywood, it will give me and my fiancee some alone time," "That low-born peasant will not step foot back inside this castle, and you two will not be getting married. I have the council already on the matter," The Dowager Queen smiled as she moved past Killian

"Well, well, well hello chicken," Davina taunted as she entered the sitting room. "What?" I questioned as I sat on the small chair in the almost empty room, that Killian had cleaned out the night before. "It is not what, you will greet me properly," Davina gritted her teeth and pushed her head forward as she expanded her eyes. "Hello, Davina," I said with a hint of sarcasm as I tried not to roll my eyes. "No," She growled as she bared her canine teeth. "You do not and will not address by my name, it is Baroness Wakefield or my lady or your Grace," "Hello Baroness Wakefield," I stated plainly. "I am of higher rank than you, you will stand and curtsy when you address me, do it again," The Baroness smiled smugly as she walked around my chair. "Hello Baroness Wakefield," I rose from my chair and curtsied. I was so over this, and where was Killian he said he would just be a minute, but it feels like forever. I really hope I don't have to spend all day with this infuriating woman. "P

"My Mother, your Dowager Queen has invited you all here, to show off your daughters to me," Killian yelled out as he kept his eyes yellow. "I have a mate, Countess Euphemia Winters, she is of noble blood through her father's side, Viscount Conrad Booth of Billings," He let his eyes go back to their light blue color as he pulled me close. "Let it be known since The Queen Mother thought to have almost all the royals in one place, I shall announce to the rest through mind-link. This is my mate, my future bride, and your future Luna, none shall take her place, you've come under false pretenses and my mother shall suffer the consequences. From now until forever none shall take orders from Constance Stein English, as I can not take her titles away because she is a dowager," The King held his head up as his mother came running over toward him. "Killian, what are you doing?" Constance held onto her son's arms as she began to shake him. "I just wanted to hold a quaint gathering for... for your

"She did what?!" Cami screeched as she sat in the chair next to me."Yeah, and Killian had her evaluated by a doctor and sent to a mental institution," I told my best friends as we sat in chairs while Master Emiliano and Mistress Bernadette did our hair."I think I would have done far worse," Evelyn piped up as she side-eyed me. "To think that she thought the King was going to choose her to be his mate because he played games with her as a child," "She is disturbed I just hope she can get the help she needs," I uttered as I watched Bernadette straighten my hair."You know that Killian had invitations sent out to all the packs?" Cami sipped her iced tea as she looked over at me."To all the Alphas, I know," I spoke up as I grabbed a glass of tea from one of the maids."No, to everyone who wanted to see their King get married," Cami retorted as she squeezed a wedge of lemon into her drink."Yes, have you heard about Jayla Stewart?" Evelyn asked as she started to flip through the pages
